Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 148 Like a Fox

It was already past noon when Xuyuan left the teahouse.

There are still some people waiting on the street, with a determination to fight to the end and not leave until their wish is fulfilled.

Xu Yuan was hesitating whether to go back to the teahouse. After sitting there for an afternoon, a carriage passed by him, followed by Chen Shan.

"Master Xu."

"Master Chen?" Xu Yuan turned around, a little surprised.

"Yes." Chen Shan clasped his fists and said, "My master has a garden outside the palace. Please go and have a look, Master Xu."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he glanced behind Xu Yuan and said cryptically, "Master Xu, you don't want to be disturbed today, do you?"

Quietness is what nature wants.

Otherwise, Xuyuan wouldn't have gone straight to the teahouse and sat there for the whole morning.

But... she won't be able to come back after the time is up. It's okay for her to stay outside the city for one night, but what about Wu Shiming?

Seeing Xu Yuan's worry, Chen Shan said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't worry about Mr. Wu. Mr. Xu has already arranged for his subordinates to inform Mr. Wu."

"That would be troublesome."

Xu Yuan didn't hesitate any longer and followed Chen Shan and got on the carriage.

The carriage swayed all the way out of the city.

Beiyao is making tea.

His fingers were slender and white, which looked good to him. Holding the teapot and pouring tea gently, they looked even more delicious.

So he rode in a carriage without wearing a mask.

His hair was not neatly tied up like when he was in Sishui County, but two strands fell on both sides, giving him the air of a chivalrous man.

Xu Yuan looked at him and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Shen is really good-looking, but it's a pity that he has no chance to meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Bei Yao was still laughing when he heard the previous sentence.

I thought to myself, no wonder I was so distracted when I first met him.

I used to think that making a wish was a man, and I felt it was a bit offensive.

He didn't feel that way at the moment.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

When Xu Yuan met him, he naturally no longer felt that there was any young man in the capital who could compare to him.

However, when Bei Yao heard the latter part, he was a little confused. He asked, "Why did you suddenly bring up the Third Prince?"

"Everyone says that the Third Prince is the most handsome man in the capital. I don't know who is better between Master Shen and the Third Prince."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his words were a bit offensive. Thinking of the indifference of this person when he first met him, he explained: "I am just a little curious, there is no other intention."

Bei Yao chuckled and asked, "What would you do if you were to encounter a honey trap?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan replied seriously: "Surrender."

Beiyao's smile deepened.

He handed the teacup to Xu Yuan, leaned lazily, and said, "I have asked someone to check what you said yesterday, but the portrait of the princess is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan said, "I have already dealt with the portrait issue. You can just check the rest."

Beiyao was a little surprised, "Why would you check this?"

"It's a coincidence." Xu Yuan didn't mention anything about Ge Shuxing.

The carriage had left the city.

Xu Yuan saw the curtains being blown up by the wind, occasionally seeing a little green, and he couldn't help but be excited, so he opened the curtains and said, "I remember the day I first arrived in the capital, I saw the carriage of the third prince. If the wind that day was as strong as today, it would be great."

Bei Yao raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to see the Third Prince?"

"A little bit." Xuyuan nodded.

After all, he is the future emperor, after all, he is a man who can change his own destiny.

Of course I want to see it if I wish.

The main reason is that she has been thinking about something else these two days.

In her previous life, she investigated the Xu family’s case for a long time.

The old people who had worked in the Xu Mansion, various embroidery shops, and even the files of the Dali Temple, etc.

But almost nothing was gained.

So, she turned her attention to the ministers of the previous dynasty and began to collect some evidence from them, hoping to get something useful from these people, but still did not gain much.

At that time, she guessed that there were many officials involved in the Xu family case.

Wei Chenyi's appearance proved her inference.

Indeed, many ministers were involved in this case and made considerable profits.

But no matter how many people were framed...if the person above hadn't given the nod, the disposal of the Xu family would not have been so quick.

So, wish to guess...

The unjust case of the Xu family was somewhat related to the emperor.

This also explains why Xu Wenxian decided to go to Beijing only after the previous emperor died on the battlefield.

The current emperor is a brother of the previous emperor.

If she really wanted to reverse the verdict for the Xu family, it would be a slap in the face of the late emperor.

As the younger brother of the previous emperor, the current emperor might also choose to keep things quiet...

But the next emperor may not be sure.

The late emperor and the third prince were uncle and nephew, and they had no friendship.

Only when handling this case can we be truly selfless.

Therefore... Xu Yuan's firm idea of ​​not participating in the fight for the throne has also weakened a lot.

But she still didn't dare to gamble.

I don't dare to bet whether the third prince will be the first to betray her after knowing that she is a descendant of the Xu family.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao smiled and said, "Why don't I introduce him to you? You can take a closer look and see who is more handsome, me or the Third Prince."

Hear the last sentence.

Xu Yuan glanced at Bei Yao uncomfortably, a little disdainfully, "Why do I feel that you are even more pretentious than those women today? You are concentrating on exuding your charm..."

At the end of the conversation, Xuyuan couldn't continue.

When I met Bei Yao before, he was very dignified, holding a folding fan in his hand, and was polite yet distant.

Today is completely different.

Like a slutty fox.

I dare not say the three words "slutty fox" when I make a wish.

She was afraid that Beiyao would kick her off the carriage and she would have to spend the night outside the city again.

Beiyao: “…”

Speechless, no solution.

Bei Yao didn't know how to answer, so he said, "Speaking of the matter of the Taiwei Mansion, I was thinking about something else."

Knowing that Beiyao was trying to change the subject, Xuyuan asked in cooperation, "What?"

"You told me before that if this person really existed, the Taiwei Mansion should have killed him immediately or sent him out of the mansion."

Bei Yao repeated what Xu Yuan said yesterday, and finally said: "Do you know the experience of Song Xiujing, the third daughter of the Song family?"

Hearing these words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sit up straight.

Bei Yao saw this and continued, "It is said that her biological mother was very beautiful, but she later fell ill and passed away. Not long after, Song Xiujing was sent to the manor and stayed there for ten years. As far as I know, the Song family has many illegitimate sons and daughters, but the only one who was sent out was Song Xiujing."

Last night, when Beiyao asked someone to investigate, he thought of this.

If the child born by that person is Song Xiujing...

Xu Yuan was stunned, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

In the previous life, no one noticed this.

She also didn't know whether Song Xiujing knew her identity.

If that woman is really Song Xiujing...

"If that's the case, then Mr. Shen should persuade His Royal Highness the Third Prince to marry Miss Song."

I made a wish and said it without any burden in my heart.

In her previous life, Song Xiujing was originally the consort of the Third Prince, and later became the Crown Princess.

If the third prince married Song Xiujing, who was the daughter of Princess Geshu, then the third prince could use this marriage to seize the military power of the Song family and gain the support of the Geshu tribe.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Bei Yao was not surprised by the wish, but he still asked, "What if His Royal Highness the Third Prince still refuses?"
